The Douglas C-124 Globemaster II, nicknamed "Old Shaky", was a heavy-lift cargo aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California.
The C-124 was the primary heavy-lift transport for United States Air Force Military Air Transport Service (MATS) during the 1950s and early 1960s until the C-141 Starlifter entered service. It served in MATS, later Military Airlift Command (MAC), gained units of the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard until 1974.
Good afternoon, Missy...hope your day is going well.
Well, then please fill me in on what the story was about even if you have to FReepmail. :-)
It wasn’t “bad”. A photographer had snapped a picture of a guy in an Air Force uniform talking to and then kissing the girl he was with near one of the monuments in Washington DC, and was speculating that it was a marriage proposal.
The photographer was asking for help looking for the couple in order to give them copies of the picture, which was a lovely shot, btw. There was music accompanying the text explaining the situation. Have no idea why it went private.
Does that help? :)
Yes. :-)
Having a decent day all in all. Thank you for the warm welcome.
A military salute goes out to my active duty Air Force nephew who has a birthday today!
